Single-filament kinetic studies provide novel insights into regulation of actin-based motility
Polarized assembly of actin filaments forms the basis of actin-based motility and is regulated both spatially and temporally. Cells use a variety of mechanisms by which intrinsically slower processes are accelerated, and faster ones decelerated, to match rates observed in vivo. Here we discuss how kinetic studies of individual reactions and cycles that drive actin remodeling have provided a mec...
متن کاملSimulations of Enhancer Evolution Provide Mechanistic Insights into Gene Regulation
There is growing interest in models of regulatory sequence evolution. However, existing models specifically designed for regulatory sequences consider the independent evolution of individual transcription factor (TF)-binding sites, ignoring that the function and evolution of a binding site depends on its context, typically the cis-regulatory module (CRM) in which the site is located. Moreover, ...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into CIN gene function and malfunction
Correspondence to Jan M. van Deursen: [email protected] Abbreviations used in this paper: APC, anaphase-promoting complex; CIN, chromosomal instability; MVA, mosaic variegated aneuploidy; Rb, retinoblastoma; S-CIN, structural CIN; W-CIN, whole CIN. Introduction Aneuploidy refers to a state in which the number of chromosomes in a cell is not an exact multiple of the haploid set. Chromosoma...
متن کاملMechanistic Insights into Hsp104 Potentiation.
Potentiated variants of Hsp104, a protein disaggregase from yeast, can dissolve protein aggregates connected to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the mechanisms underlying Hsp104 potentiation remain incompletely defined. Here, we establish that 2-3 subunits of the Hsp104 hexamer must bear an A503V potentiating mutation to elicit enh...
متن کاملStructures of the SUMO E1 provide mechanistic insights into SUMO activation and E2 recruitment to E1.
E1 enzymes facilitate conjugation of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins through adenylation, thioester transfer within E1, and thioester transfer from E1 to E2 conjugating proteins. Structures of human heterodimeric Sae1/Sae2-Mg.ATP and Sae1/Sae2-SUMO-1-Mg.ATP complexes were determined at 2.2 and 2.75 A resolution, respectively. Despite the presence of Mg.ATP, the Sae1/Sae2-SUMO-1-Mg.ATP str...
